TV Guide Weekly 55th Anniversary - Matsumoto Jun Special Message

[arashitranslation]

TV Guide has been on publication for so long. Splendid. It started publication several years after the beginning of commercial broadcast wasn’t it. What’s more it’s weekly magazine it’s surprising. Every week, to continue putting in such information is very difficult job, I think. I hope it continues delivering many information in the future. We shall also work our best so as to appear in it!

I watch a lot TV. At night, when I am back home I turn on TV right away, I watch programmes broadcast at that time, or watched the programmes I recorded, somehow I have time to watch TV. I watch a lot sports programmes. In particular the real-time broadcast of contests, if I have time I watch them a lot. Now I watch tennis programmes. When I was a child, I watched a lot anime. I watched Kamen Rider and Sentai Mono, I also liked Ultraman. I had memory about “Ultraman Taro” and “Ultraman A”, and I played the toy of Ultraman. And then I watched a lot “Kato-chan Ken-chan Gokigen TV” and “Shimura Ken no Bakatonosama”. Speaking of TV star since I remembered things, Player Hara (Tatsunori). Because I was baseball-youngster, I watched Giants and Yakult games. Though there were various players, the star was Player Hara. At that time I thought of becoming a baseball player. And then, when I thought about start I would think of Yoshi Ikuzo-san. My grandfather likes “Yukiguni” a lot, at home he played a lot the recording. Therefore I have strong image of Yoshi Ikuzo-san singing “Yukiguni” on TV.

Even now I still think TV is something like a treasure box of dreams. Since I was small I grew up watching TV, in our time the games we played were mainly connected to TV too. When I was small, there were various dreams in that Braun-tube box. I have been the one who watched TV, now I become the one who appear in TV, but still there are things like dreams at there. Not only dreams there are also reality in there, I think I am in an interesting position.

--- Playback Matsumoto Jun that time! ~ Verification of the popular phrase in the past ~
“As for myself, thus far I have experienced various things myself though, I don’t want to call it evolution. After all I am just on the road (to evolution)... I am stoic (giggle).” - 2008.4.4 issue

The change since that time, I have no idea at all. Compared with the past, somehow there is progression and regression, I think. Now if I am “on the road”, now I have no interest in it. Rather than how I should be now, or how I should become in the future, I think what I should do at this place is more important.
